Hello friends,

I do not know how long ago I read this poem or was it in school? I only know some words, some poems and some poets, you do not forget. You may not remember the entire words but, something makes you go find them out. To read them again, to take you back in time or to a place you have known. In your dreams perhaps? Or somewhere you want to go to in future? Or may be just claim a peaceful moment in your thoughts?

You can know more about the poet here – William Wordsworth

 The Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,    

A host, of golden daffodils;  

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the Milky Way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,  

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A Poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye    

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,  

And dances with the daffodils.

by William Wordsworth
